  • Work cat.: Borodin, A. Deterministic many-to-many hot potato routing, 1995:p. 1 (We consider a form of routing known as hot potato routing or deflection routing ... The striking feature of this form of routing is that unlike traditional store and forward packet routing, it involves no queues at intermediate nodes. Thus packets are always moving, giving rise to the term, hot potato)
  • Webopedia online computer dictionary for computer and Internet terms and definitions, via WWW, Jan. 4, 2006(Hot potato routing -- A form of routing in which the nodes of a network have no buffer to store packets in before they are moved on to their final predetermined destination ... [I]n hot potato routing, each packet that is routed is constantly transferred until it reaches its final destination because the individual communication links can not support more than one packet at a time. The packet is bounced around like a hot potato, sometimes moving further away from its destination because it has to keep moving through the network ... Also referred to as deflection routing)
  • Wikipedia, via WWW, Jan. 4, 2006(Hot-potato routing -- In the jargon of routing technology, hot-potato routing is routing that forwards the packet towards the path with the lowest delay (as opposed, for example, to the more commonly used metric of least number of hops). In commercial network routing between autonomous systems, hot-potato routing is the practice of passing traffic off to another AS [autonomous system] as quickly as possible, thus using their network for wide-area transit)
